After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

"The person who spread this story is Anfeis, right?" Ximu seemed to have expected it. He looked at the surprised Naris and said:

"That man only likes happy endings. Even if the ending of the whole story is tragic, he will only cut out a beautiful story and tell it."

He analyzed with a smile.

"Since that man would tell me that I was infected with the Fire of Surtur, it... can only mean that he divined my future."

"Otherwise it wouldn't be consistent with his storytelling style."

Naris thought for a while, nodded and said, "That seems to make sense."

There are many powerful bards in this world, and they have different perspectives on the world and different ways of telling the world.

As for Anpheus, a well-known troubadour, all the stories told, no matter how tortuous the process, must be happy at the end.

It can make people face the world more optimistically.

Suffering will eventually pass, this is a characteristic of the story told by Amphis, a famous bard, and Amphis has always tried to make the world a better place.

"Discuss when I might die." Ximu took the initiative to change the topic and asked Naris with a gentle smile.

"Is there anyone worth noting among the adventurers who went to defeat the Undead Serpent this time?"

The NPCs that fight against the undead serpent in this game are not fixed. Except for a few that are predictable, the refresh of other NPCs is a bit irregular.

Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the information of NPCs participating in the battle in advance.

And Nalis happens to... no, to be more precise, she is responsible for this aspect, and will pay attention to every NPC worthy of attention.

This is why Nalis was the first to notice his existence.

"By the way, this is why I came to see Lord Akhtar this time!" Naris quickly took out an atlas, moved her chair and sat next to Ximu.

She opened the album and pointed at the aloof woman with long black hair on the first page. She saw a nearly two-meter long knife hanging on her waist, wearing hot shorts, and her upper body was wrapped in a bandage. The temperament is awe-inspiring and also reveals danger.

"Kulita, she is good at using long swords. Her ability seems to be the perception of malice. She is very good at predicting and... resisting sneak attacks. With her good sword skills, she has become a well-known figure in the mercenary world."

Xi Mu nodded and made no comment.

He knew this female swordsman from Kulitar. She was really good, but her ability was not malicious perception, but enhanced intuition.

A very difficult woman to kill.

"Then there is the one-armed swordsman Pros, who seems to be a wanderer." Naris turned another page and said to Ximu.

"He is the man who came to Gear City with you. He recently had a conflict with someone in Gear City and showed considerable strength, so he is also listed as a target of attention."

She thought about it.

"This man's ability seems to be related to cutting. With a low-quality sword, he can also cut through reinforced armor."

Ximu laughed, "What a surprise."

The one-armed swordsman Pross who entered the Gear City with him is an out-and-out idealist. Although he talks about wanting to get ahead, his deepest thoughts are to change the world for the better and make himself better. The ghetto of birth...no more abandoned children.

However, the more noble a person's ideals are, the easier it is to be tainted by reality. This man will despair at the end of his ideals, and then become a follower of the flame giant Surtur.

An idealist who once wanted to make the world a better place.

Dramatically transformed into a madman who wants to burn the world down.

"Then there is this nun." Nalis turned another page and pointed to the beautiful blindfolded nun in the album. "She is a stowaway, but she showed great strength, so we issued a temporary license. Residence permit.”

She introduced it this way.

"There were some drunk mercenaries who molested this nun, but they all died in mysterious ways and the attack methods were very strange."

"It's better not to provoke her." Ximu reminded her kindly, and Naris nodded seriously, deeply agreeing with Ximu's reminder.

As soon as she saw the blindfolded nun's dress and temperament, she felt that this blindfolded nun was not a normal person and must be a very difficult guy.

Except for those who are dominated by the lower body and dare to tease the blindfolded nun, I am afraid that normal people would not dare to provoke the hostility of the blindfolded nun.

"Then, there is the last person worthy of attention." Nalis turned another page and pointed to the priest on the page.

"Mari, he is a fanatical believer in the God of War. His ability is skin toughening, which can greatly improve the skin's ability to resist blows."

She sighed.

"As long as there is a war, this group of believers of the God of War will appear, just like the death birds."

"But we have to admit their assistance to the army, right?" Ximu said with a smile. In this game setting, the God of War is a more difficult boss character, and his ability is to strengthen the enemy and ourselves.

The so-called strengthening of the enemy and ourselves is to copy the power of all the benevolent objects on "our side" to ourselves one by one.

The same goes for the "enemy". Anyone who is hostile to the God of War will also be replicated with a one-to-one force.

Of course, this will only reproduce the power, not the ability.

But even so, it is very terrifying. This ability to strengthen the enemy and friends is not limited to a specific number. As long as it is within the observation range of the God of War, this ability to strengthen the enemy and friends can be successfully activated.

And this ability mechanism can also be weakened to the believers of the God of War, which becomes the so-called "military strength strengthening" prayer, which can greatly enhance the strength of our personnel.

"If it is to defeat the immortal snake, the believers of the God of War...maybe they are really indispensable." Nairis sighed and acknowledged the value of the believers of the God of War.

However, I still don't like the believers of the God of War. After all, they are suspected of deliberately provoking war.

They shout that war is the final solution to all contradictions, but in fact they are constantly provoking contradictions, and the contradictions have never been resolved.

It is clearly a group of perverts who want to satisfy their desire for war.

"Are there any other people worth noting?" Ximu asked again, and Nairis also restrained her dissatisfied expression when she heard the voice, and began to patiently tell Ximu about the adventurers worth paying attention to.

There weren't many guys worth noting later. Most of them didn't even have their abilities awakened, and even if they had the abilities, they were basically useless.

The situation had been confirmed.

...

...

The next day.

The crusade against the immortal snake officially began.

Ximu rode out of the dark cave on a mare and looked at the rock cave in front of him. The white fog filled every space, making it difficult to identify the direction.

He didn't follow the large army in.

After all, the large army would attract the immortal snake first, which would cause him to miss an opportunity to assassinate.

The immortal snake was not really immortal, but it had five hearts. As long as all the hearts were not destroyed at once, the immortal snake would be able to quickly repair the damaged hearts, giving people a false impression of immortality.

After all, the size of the immortal snake was too exaggerated, and it was difficult for ordinary people to attack the five hearts of the immortal snake at the same time.

And at this moment.

"Ahhhhh!!!" A scream suddenly broke the silence, and lightning suddenly broke out in the distance, and then... the cave began to tremble.

A vague and huge snake shadow began to move in the mist, and the mist was blown away with the movement of the snake shadow.

So, Ximu saw it.

A big snake that seemed to move mountains, along with his moving snake body, crushed a large number of corpses that did not have time to escape.

The ground was stained red with blood.

The adventurers who reacted did not cause effective damage to the undead snake. Even if they could break the scales of the undead snake, they would heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Damn... Why is it this kind of monster!" A fully armed adventurer threw away the weapon in his hand and fled in the direction he came from.

The moment he saw the undead snake, he lost his proud courage. He tried his best to split the scales, and the undead snake healed in an instant.

How to fight this kind of monster.

"There is no way to win!" He subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a red snake mouth, revealing two sharp fangs rushing towards him.

"Ahhh... Don't come over!" The man staggered and widened his eyes in horror, watching himself being swallowed by the snake.

His consciousness also stopped at this moment.

"Partner, let's go." Ximu looked at this scene, touched the neck of the little mare, and then took out the spear that pierced the immortal.

He stepped on the ground with eight feet and rushed out like lightning.

During the time when the immortal snake was eating, Ximu held the spear that pierced the immortal tightly and aimed at the heart of the immortal snake.

Stab down.

Before getting close, the tip of the spear condensed by the wind penetrated out, as if it was a spiral turn, directly piercing the scales and flesh of the immortal snake.

Piercing from front to back.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!" The roar that resounded through the world echoed, and the immortal snake twisted its body wildly, as if it was a whip, whipping everything around it irregularly.

Hot blood gushed out of the wound, and the ground was burned into boiling magma the moment it landed. Occasionally, the unlucky ones were splashed with the blood of the undead snake, and were directly burned into ashes and died on the spot.

Ximu rode a small mare and took shelter at the edge of the cave. Now the mad undead snake... was not easy to attack. When the undead snake regained its sanity, it could master the pattern of attack.

Of course, this was based on his understanding of the attack rhythm of the boss, the undead snake. Otherwise, it would be the best choice to take the risk and rush up to make up for it.

After a while.

The undead snake seemed to recover, and his pierced snake body also healed, but the pierced heart in his body did not recover.

Five hearts, one was permanently missing.

The effect of piercing the undead spear is to pierce the heart. Even if it is protected by a hard shell, as long as the spear points to the heart, it will have a strong penetrating power.

And the pierced heart cannot be healed.

Theoretically, as long as the spear of piercing immortality is used well enough, most lives can be killed.

After all, normal life has only one heart. As long as the right time is found to use the spear of piercing immortality, the victory or defeat can be decided with one strike.

"Ah~ It's a familiar smell." The immortal snake actually spoke, and the snake eyes full of violence met Ximu's eyes.

"You are the human chosen by Sleipnir... right?"

"Partner, is he your friend?" Ximu seemed a little surprised, and the tip of the gun aimed at the undead snake was slightly lowered.

In response, the little mare shook her head vigorously. She and the immortal snake were not so-called friends.

On the contrary, both sides have the desire to devour each other.

Before the death of the Monster Witch, all the monsters created...had the possibility of becoming the strongest monster, Typhon.

But the premise is that you have to eat enough thousands of monsters.

"Then kill him, and I don't have to feel guilty!" Ximu's smile turned evil, and when the immortal snake saw this scene, he let out an extremely angry roar.

"Roar!" The sound echoed throughout the world, and the strong shock wave swept away in all directions like a hurricane.

The one that followed immediately whipped the snake's tail, and the air turned translucent under the whipping of the tail.

"Boom!" The ground was overturned, and smoke and dust flooded the cave. Anyone who faced this tail would end up turning into flesh.

There is no possibility...

That's how it should be.

"Tick tock!" The hot snake blood dripped to the ground and dissolved it into hot magma. The undead snake looked at its tail and saw a large eye-catching hole running through it.

He had another heart...pierced.

Why did that human seem to be able to predict his actions, and the moment he pulled out his tail, he was ready to lock his heart and use a spear to pierce it.

Is it an astrologer or just a coincidence.

No matter what, he needs to pay attention, otherwise he will really die after being penetrated through five hearts.

The snake body like a mountain began to coil up, protecting the heart in the innermost layer. As long as the human dared to get close, he would be crushed into pulp by his snake body.

Subsequently.

The undead snake opened its mouth and bit into the direction of Ximu. It fell rapidly like a high-rise building. The ground trembled suddenly as if there was an earthquake, leaving a crater-like hole on the ground.

Ximu, on the other hand, rode the little mare to avoid it and surrounded the undead snake, looking for a chance to penetrate the heart.

With his current magic power, he can only use the spear that penetrates the immortal nine times, if he does not pierce the heart of the immortal serpent within nine times.

Then this crusade can be declared a failure.

One avoidance.

One bite.

"Boom boom boom!!!" Shekou followed closely, biting Ximu continuously, and even the ground was deformed by the impact.

Then came the collapse.

The entire cave collapsed at this moment, falling deeper into the ground. A huge amount of stones, together with the body of the big snake, fell into a lava lake.

Ximu stood in mid-air riding a little mare, looking at the magma lake below and observing the place where the undead snake might appear.

Then he saw an extremely huge bloody sword emerging from the lava, and then a face with closed eyes emerged from the lava lake.

That was the face of a man. He slowly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Ximu.
